It helps keep the engine compartment somewhat cooler, and also shortens the life of the headers. I dont think it would affect oil or coolant temps.

Are you going to use meth injection to help keep the IATs down?

There is a new Big Mouth air dam that is soon to be available for the C6 Z06 and it will direct air flow onto the radiator. This will be very useful in road racing to keep coolant temps down.
